gospel quartets in Jefferson County, Alabama
1 DVD-video (60 min.) : sound, color ; 4 3/4 in.
Spirituals have been described both as the literature of American slavery and as the jewels that slaves brought out of bondage. Today, the harmony, percussive precision, and evangelical fervor of gospel music have made it a hit around the world. This program examines the influence of African music on the gospel sound and spotlights venerable gospel groups concluding with a Sunday gospel quartet celebration.
